The French are determined to leave ¥riday whether an agreement is reached or not. Present prospects seem favorable for an agreement. But so serfous are the negotiations al pres ent that there was no one who would confidently predict with certainty that France will fund her debt. M. Cail laux in the past is known to have left conference with European premiers abruptly when he found matters had reached certain stages. He is constant 1y of an optimistic turn of mind here, but those who know him say that on the surface he always appears con fident. The American commissioners, on the other hand. also have assumed a definite attitude of confidence in spite of the differences existing. But, as one of the American commissioners said of himself, he was habitually optimistic regardless of circumstances. So the negotiations today battered their way through serious stages of uncertainty, with both commissions holding high respect for the personal frankness of the other, and proceeding upon a_cosdial basis to bring about a successful agreement. FRENCH SEE HOPE OF UNDERSTANDING ON DEBT (Continued from First P: ge.) ments upward to $90,000,000 there- after. He says France has other ob- ligations. He does not list them, but among these are the payment of $20,- 000,000 to the American Government for' war supplies bought after the A. E. F. left France and the interest and sinking fund payments on the va- rious commercial loans made through J. P. Morgan & Co. Here are the fig- ures obtained from French sources showing tne approXimate payments due on the various Morgan loans: 1926, $33,400,000. $28,000,000. $27,500,000. $26,900,000. $26,300,000. $25,700,000. . $25,000,000. $24,000,000. $23,900,000. £20,800,000. $20,200,000. 1938, $18,900,000. 1939, $18,300,000. 1940, $17,700,000. And’ then graduated down to an average of $11,000,000 a year for four years and about $5,000,000 annually thereafter until 1949. Answer for Borah. These figures are important because Senator Borah, chairman of the Sen- ate foreign relations committee, has written Secretary Mellon asking why it Is that the French government can American private bankers interest rates running up to 7}; per cent and the American Government cannot get even 314 per cent interest. The French are ready to answer Senator Borah. They point out that it is one thing to pay 7% per cent or thereabouts on a loan of $400,000,000 and quite another thing to be asked to pay 3% per cent on a loan running over $4,000,000,000. Also the French nowadays can expect no further cash advances from the American Government, as the Wash- ington administration has gone out of the lending business, and it is there- fore a question of paying whatever | interest rate American bankers think they can persuade the American in- vesting public to accept. The negotiations, in a sense, are in deadlock, but there is plenty of op- portunity for both sides to yield. Whether each will yield sufficlently to bring about a settlement is doubt- ful. Whatever comes it will not be a break or rupture. It will be either a detailed settlement and signed agreement, or else an “understand- ing” which is the technical term ap- plied to the result of the Churchill- aillaux negotiations. Then another conference between Brjtain and France may ensue and finally another examination of the whole problem between America and France a few months hence. (Copyright, 1925.) HUNTINGTON WILSON WED Former ' Undersecretary of State Married to Miss Hope Butler. PARIS, September 28 (#)—Friends here learned today of the marriage of Huntington Wilson, former American Undersecretary of Stgte, to Miss Hope Butler, niece of Charles Butler of New York, which occurred at Zurich, Switzerland on September 1. The couple are spending their honeymoon in Italy. Mr. Wilson was divorced from his second wife, Lucille O'Hara Wilson, in 1917. A campaign to raise an endowment fund of $17,500,000 has been started by the University of Chicago, 2N the Serfate to effect these changes. In this connection, Senator Curtis pointed out that there have been ver: recently in the past several sugges- tions as to the best way to bring about reorgan tion, one of which was pre- sented by enator Smoot at the last session of Congress. He reported out | a bill which had been prepared by the joint congressional committee, of which he was chairman. and uhinh“ represented the results of almost two | years of careful study and survey of | the reorganization subject, but despite this fact. and the fact that it had| the stamp of approval of President | Coolidge, it failed to receive any favor- | able consideration The Kansas Senator thinks his own plan, which would be in the form of short amendment to some one of the appropriation bills, giving blanket | authority to the President, would call | for verry little debate and would | therefore necessarily stand a much | r chance of being passed. In| s opinion any attempt to specify ail | of the varigus details of consolidation | and governmental elimination would | require an 0 long that no one could digest s a whole. Besides this it would offer grounds for endless details and discussion without promising definite results. Senator Curtis, aside from his own feeling, is absolutely satisfied that the American people favor reorganization. He contends further that the time has come for Congress to make reorgan- | zation possible. ‘While discussing this subject today Senator Curtis said that of the more than 40 independent bureaus and agencies now operating in the name of the Federal Government at least 30 could be dispensed with easily. What little work they are now doing could be readily turned over to one of the departments. While not caring to go into any great details concerning what he described as “these useless bureaus,” Senator Curtis stated that { he favored also the abolishing of the Federal Trades Commission, saying that the functions of this body could be transferred to some division of the { Department of Justice. He does not, | | however, favor abolishing the Tariff { Commission. In his opinion there is need for this commission, but he thinks its membership could be reduc- ed from six down to three, Aside from the question of efficiency being involved in this question of re- organization, Senator Curtis believes | that a much greater tax reduction than the suggested $300,000,000 can be effective if Congress will give the President blanket authority to use a free hand in the matter. Senator Cur- tis still believes proper reorganization 1 will mean a saving of more than $250,- 000,000 annually. enator Smoot called upon the Pres- ident following_the visit of Senators Curtis and McKinley, and when asked for an expression of views upon the | | proposals of Senators Curtis and Edge | to give the President blanket author- | ity to effect reorganization, said that previous experfence with the Overman act, which was enacted as a war | measure, convinced him that it would {be difficult to persuade Congress to I place such a large authority in the hands of the President over the Gov- ernment departments. He said, however, that he intended to make a’close study of the proposals of Senators Edge and Curtis, but that he had no present plan of aban- doning the Smoot-Brown reorganiza- tion plan. Senator Smoot said he did not discuss this matter with the Pres- ident today, explaining that his call had to do with a personal matter and that he incidentally mentioned the progress of the French debt negotia- tions. BENSON ASKS ) | i | | | NEW SHIPS. In an independent report made pub- lic today, Commissioner Benson de- clared that a building program is necessary for the shipping Board or | the merchant fleet will rapidly de- preciate and finally vanish from the sea. The report, which has been trans- mitted to Senate and House commit- tees, asserts that the United States Line operating in the North Atlantic “comprises the most unbalanced fleet of passenger and cargo vessels in the world,” and it is impossible for the line to compete successfully with for- eign lines. ‘The United States Lines, he said, are far below the “economic unit of a bal- anced fleet,” which should consist of “three high-power, speed, first- class passenger vessels and a number of subordinate vessels.” The Levia- than is the only one thAt stands in this class on the line. The commissioner recommended that this line be augmented by two 30,000 tons, 20-knot cargo and passen- ger liners readily adaptable for air- plane carrier conversion, and 200,000 deadweight tons of cargo liners each year for 10 or more years. Declaring that foreign shipping de- manded cargo liners instead of tramp steamers, the report says efforts should be concentrated on building cargo liners with a speed of 14 knots and a deadwelght carrying capacity of 11,000 tons. . “It is apparent,” the report adds, “that replacements will have to be made or our fleet will rapidly depreci- | general s ate and finally vanish from the sea. It is believed that before this replace- ment program is far under way, world conditions will improve so that the demand for an increased program will Justify the construction of a consider- ably augmented program¢’ TINY RIFF BAND F CONFIDENT Leade 200,000 Joint Fleet BY VINCENT SHEEAN.
